Lewiston Moose Lodge bolsters reading efforts

January 22, 2003

"On behalf of the Lewiston Library, we really appreciate this. I'm shocked at the amount, and we can certainly use the funds," Barber said, noting the monies may be used to purchase subscriptions for some of the children's magazines.

Another $500 donation was extended to Rick Holt, principal of Lewiston Elementary School, for the school library. Holt expressed much appreciation and stated that the library would benefit greatly from the generous donation.

Clyde Gilliam, governor for the Moose Lodge, commented, "We're just proud to be part of the community. The women of the Moose Lodge do a great deal to help us. A lot of things wouldn't get done if it weren't for the women. We are thankful to have them help us."

Rhoades nodded his head in agreement and replied, "Yes, the women are a big part of the Lodge. We all work in conjunction with one another to help the community as much as possible."
